It’s the finale of TTNS season 2...and we have a treat in store for you! Theresa Talbot chats to number-one bestselling author, Jeffery Deaver. His books adorn bookshelves in 150 countries in 25 languages. As we find out, Jeffery has a strict discipline when it comes to his writing, telling Theresa that his is a craftsman’s approach to getting the words on the page. And it’s paid off as he’s sold more than 50 million copies of his books. The former journalist and law attorney believes that readers are the gods who guide his stories - so no pressure on all of us! As well as hearing about his latest books and plans for both the Lincoln Rhyme and Colter Shaw series, Jeffery talks about the thrill of hearing his words spoken by Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie in the film version of The Bone Collector. His recommended book is The Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris.

Multi award-winning writer, Craig Russell, joins Theresa Talbot this week to talk about what it’s like to have your books translated into 25 languages, how to immerse yourself in the world you are writing about and how having really great headphones can change your life! The Devil Aspect - Craig’s stand alone Gothic novel set in 1935 Czechoslovakia - will be coming to the big screens. His latest book, Hyde, will be on the book shelves in early 2021. Five of his Fabel novels have been made into movies with Craig making a cameo appearance as a detective. The Lennox novels are being developed into a returning TV series by BAFTA award-winning Synchronicity Films. Ira Levin’s first novel - A Kiss before Dying - is Craig’s book recommendation.

This week, Theresa Talbot catches up with the author of eight crime thriller novels set in Spain, Scotland and the US. The latest Morgan Cry book is Thirty-One Bones - the owner of a small Spanish bar drops dead. But it’s not straight forward, as the bar is frequented by a group of ex-pat misfits. There’s lots of chat about writers marketing their books and how Gordon approaches writing. He gets up very very early in the morning! Gordon is also one of the founding directors of the Bloody Scotland Festival. This year he was involved in ‘persuading’ the debut writers to collaborate on the Glencairn short story, One With The Glass, which was recorded for this episode of The Tartan Noir Show. So get yourself comfy with a glass of something or a big cup of tea.
